Tunnel Service to Be Dekyed
A Failure to HaTC Cars in Readi-
ncM WiU Cause a Delay
Till Sammer
It is now decided that there will be no tunnel service to connect with the Long Island Railroad Until mid¬ summer. The Company pays that there has been a delay in getting their cars and that there is not equipment sufficient on hand to handle the summer trafilc. A statement issued by the Railroad officials in reference to the delay, embodies the following:
"The Long Island Railroad Company is having built 140 new steel cars tobe electrical equipped*for this tunnel ser¬ vice. The contracts, which were made early in 1909, provided for thier deliv¬ ery between February 1 and May 1, 1910. On account of delays which were beyond control of the Long Island Company, the first consignment of cars on this order will be received about May 15, and the deliveries will con¬ tinue from that date until about Octo¬ ber 1, when the whole order will be completed. The Long laland Company now has only fifty steel cars which can be used in this aervice.
"After very carefully considering the matter, the management of the railroad company has decided that it would be impossible to give satisfactory service through the tunnels to the new station with fifty cars, and rather than per¬ form service which they know will be unsatisfactory to the general public, it has been decided to delay the operation of trains through the tunnels until a sufficient number of cars have been re¬ ceived to enable the company to give prompt and adequate service. There- lore, announcement is now made that the tunnela will not be opened until about midsummer, by which time the railroad hopes to receive sufficient equipment to be able to give good ser¬ vice."
